Lyrics Sum'Bulala (Bent Remix) - Brenda Fassie

Mama, I′m sorry
I didn't mean to hurt you
I won′t be the same again
Mama I've learnt a lesson

All these years
I've been bad to you
I never thought I′ll see you again
Mama I′ve learnt a lesson

Mama you won't weep again
I won′t hurt you no more (Weep no more)
Mama you won't weep again (Oh mama)
I won′t hurt you no more (Weep no more)
Mama you won't weep again (Oh mama)
I won′t hurt you no more

Ten kilometers bare footed in the bush
Started raining on the way to fetch some water
Poor woman had a baby on her back
Was struck by lightning on her way
To fetch some water
She tried hiding under a tree to save her child
Poor woman had no place to go
Lightning caught her with her baby on her back
Friends, relatives ran for her
But it was too late
It was too late. Too late for mama
Husband came running to the scene yeah
Poor man held his dead wife in his arms
Eyes full of tears not believing the nightmare
Knelt down and prayed for this was a painful loss
Too late. Too late for mama
Oh mama mama, oh poor mama,
It was too late. Too late
But it was too late
Too late... too late for mama
Oh mama mama,
Oh poor mama, it was too late, too late
Too late for mama... oh mama
Mama with the little baby
She′s gone... she's gone... she′s gone, oh poor mama
It was too late
Early on Monday morning
Police arrests my brother
For working for a black community
Monday afternoon
Went to see my brother
Policeman treated me like a donkey
I said to police man
"You've got a bad attitude
Oh no! I′m no criminal
I am good black woman"

Oh ngiboshiwe mama
Oh bengingenzang lutho
Oh mama, oh yilelele ye mama
Oh mama, oh mama
